It looks very RTR.

Possibly a BJ4 Sport

jimmy 17-07-2007 01:19 PM

You don't get too many machined alloy / titanium and carbon fibre RTR cars - but ok! :)
It's certainly a cheaper-to-produce version of the BJ4, but that doesn't mean worse. Maybe JConcepts would have chosen to mould some of these parts like hubs and steering if they had the money to do it in the first place.

Some stuff like the rear hinge pin blocks, if they are plastic then I don't like that, but most of the changes are OK to be honest. I don't mind about CF battery straps or alloy hubs. the new slipper looks neat and I'm told it has a great range of adjustment too.

I know what your saying jim and it is a high spec car, but i think its the bling factor that is missing for me. (Sadly im not like welshy and its not all about design:D )

But on a serious note, Jconcepts, Atomic Carbon, tamiya and the aero all look nice pieces of kit, i just think these have raised the bar slightly and we have got used to having a bit of colour on the cars we race.

This is proberly just the team version and there will proberly be a fully blinged factory team version.

its say thats the ft, shock bottoms, turnbuckles, itas all whats on the ft b4

aslo the ft b4 isnt that blinged up, there is no style for styles sake on the cars, they do what there ment to and thats win...i hope

jimmy 17-07-2007 01:40 PM

yeah I know what you mean Lee, the bling will come later I'm sure in the form of 'hop ups' - or maybe like ash says a beast-version, who knows.

To be honest though, I like plastic cars like the ZX5 - and I'd like to see a plastic version of this. :)

Come on Jimmy, sort them pictures out. Not everyone has a 24" widescreen to view this thread :D :D :D

k£v!n 17-07-2007 02:11 PM

Its been said before, but hey im going to say it again :), it looks just like the bj4!


However I do like it, the shock towers look to be a little thicker?

I'm pretty sure it will be the FT version, because it says it on the picture of the box ;)

NeilD 17-07-2007 04:06 PM

Lee 17-07-2007 04:13 PM

I might get banned like the real welshy:D

NeilD 17-07-2007 04:16 PM

I wondered why he had a jar in his JC hauler.:eh?:

Lee 17-07-2007 04:18 PM

He told me it was vaseline "for the diffs":D

NeilD 17-07-2007 04:21 PM

You did say "diff" didn't you?:p

Lee 17-07-2007 04:29 PM

NeilD 17-07-2007 04:37 PM

Richard Lowe 17-07-2007 05:06 PM
